18 Women Reveal Their Most Successful Pickup Lines

1."I once asked a guy, 'Dinner before dessert? 😉' and it worked — we literally got dinner before dessert." —Brigette, 23

2. "My go-to pickup line when I was still single was to walk up to a guy and simply ask, 'Truth or dare?' I found that it served as a great way to determine how fun a guy was if he played along or gave me a look of confusion. It made me seem bold and fun. Plus, both options open up the conversation in interesting ways." —Lynn, 29

3. "I once told a guy I'd go home with him if he could name all members of the Backstreet Boys. It worked." —Lydia, 24

4. "I was texting a guy I met at a party a little while back and at first I didn't think he'd text me at all. So when he did, I wanted to try and be as funny as possible, but because I'm so incredibly awkward I said, 'Have you ever read Dr. Seuss? Because green eggs and DAMN!' He responded with laughing emojis and we ended up briefly dating for a few months. Sometimes being your awkward self pays off!" —Amanda S., 23

5. "I had a super-cute waiter, so before I left, I wrote on the bill, 'You're cute. I like you. Text me.' and it worked. He called me that night after he got off work and we dated for a few years." —Jovanna, 22

He said when he got the text, he was really thrown back and couldn't believe it was actually happening. We've been dating for two years now." —Shannon, 24
